🚨 The Silent Crisis: How Teacher Turnover Fuels Student Discipline Problems
Description
The link is undeniable: when great teachers leave, student discipline issues rise. In this vital episode of Your Morning Boost, we dive deep into the findings of the K-12 Dive article, "Teacher Turnover Contributes to Suspensions and Referrals Study Finds." We explore how the loss of relational capital (key student-teacher relationships) and procedural consistency (uniform rules) destabilizes school culture and leads to a spike in office referrals, especially for students with trauma.
Key Takeaways: Learn three actionable, non-budgetary strategies to interrupt this cycle: establish a uniform tier one behavioral strategy (e.g., Be respectful, responsible, ready), mandate protected time for proactive relational check-ins, and develop high-leverage peer mentorship focused on behavioral support for new staff. Don't let staffing instability sabotage your school's climate.
